In conclusion. Moore said he was independent when he is an active member of the Democratic party as of his last voting in 2001, as is shown on his registration card. So he lied, and you believed him, and when it was exposed that he lied you quickly excused it because Michael Moore can do no wrong. See how that works?
BTW, anyone else think its sad that such a active political icon hasn't voted in THREE YEARS? I sure do.

Um, no.

Secondly, in Illinois, (this may not be the case in New York.) in order to vote in the primaries, you have to register as a member of one party. If Moore wants to have a say as to which democrats are nominated, he has to be a member of the democratic party. Does this make him a de jure member of the democratic party? Yes, but de facto he's not a democrat by his word alone and, thus, it's not a lie, and I don't even thing you're anal enough to expect him to unregister and reregister before and after every single election.
If this were a matter of fact, you'd have a point. Since we can all choose our political affiliations, this isn't a matter of
fact as it were, it's simply a matter of party identification. Moore doesn't identify himself as a Democrat, therefore he's not.
If you can find me a quote where Michael Moore says he is not a REGISTERD democrat, than I will conceed the point to you and crawl back into my hole, but based on the information you've provided, you're wrong.
